I failed to add,

   &uart1 {
           pinctrl-names = "default";
           pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart1>;
           status = "okay";
   };

to my device tree and then this condition triggered.  I can see the
'dmesg' by telneting to the device.  So maybe it is not so interesting.

If I put the proper initialization as above, then it is fine.

Thanks,
